The bundle wars have begun!

September 16, 2009 - A FCC filing spotted a few weeks ago suggested Sony would eventually be releasing a larger 250GB PS3 model alongside the standard 120GB unit. But now it seems we could see a larger bundled harddrive sooner than we thought.

Tech website Engadget obtained an apparently leaked photograph of an Uncharted 2: Among Thieves PlayStation 3 bundle that comes with a 250GB harddrive and a copy of the game. This news comes just a day after Microsoft unveiled its Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 250GB bundle.

We contacted Sony for comment on this, but we may not get an official confirmation until Tokyo Game Show next week. Or maybe never. We'll keep you updated. Update: A SCEA rep claims this photo is a fabrication and the company has no plans to release a bundle in North America.

Want to try Nathan Drake-inspired multiplayer? Buy Sucker Punch's latest.

April 27, 2009 - Chances are you were going to buy Infamous already, but Sony just sweetened the pot. A lot. Turns out the Infamous copies that will be hitting stores on May 26 will have a voucher code inside them that grants exclusive access to the Uncharted 2: Among Thieves multiplayer beta.

Wow.

Yes, the multiplayer mayhem IGN told you about today can be yours if you just plunk down your cold, hard cash for Sucker Punch's superhero epic. The news came via a trailer at the Infamous preview party in Seattle, and during that video some small text ran underneath the Uncharted part that said "Beta available 6/23 to 6/29." Does that mean that's when you'll be able to play? Does that mean that's when you'll be able to download? We don't know, but we're looking into it.

UPDATE: PlayStation.com is running a banner stating the beta voucher will be good from 6/3 to 6/29. Until we get more on the subject, have fun filing those Infamous preorders!
